Park <strong>Plan</strong>ning District 3<br />
District 3 is located in the northeast corner <strong>of</strong> <strong>Lakeville</strong>. Its boundaries include the <strong>City</strong>’s<br />
municipal boundary on the north, south <strong>and</strong> east, with Cedar Avenue as its western<br />
boundary.<br />
2020 L<strong>and</strong> Use <strong>Plan</strong><br />
District 3 is divided by the <strong>City</strong>’s existing MUSA boundary. Expansion <strong>of</strong> the MUSA in<br />
2005 to include 1,550 acres creates opportunities for new development. An additional<br />
320 acres l<strong>and</strong> will be made available for development in 2010. Low density residential<br />
neighborhoods is the predominant existing l<strong>and</strong> use, however, the district does include<br />
areas <strong>of</strong> commercial, medium density residential, <strong>and</strong> manufactured housing uses.<br />
The southern <strong>and</strong> eastern portion <strong>of</strong> District 3 falls within <strong>Lakeville</strong>’s staged MUSA<br />
expansion areas. Most <strong>of</strong> District 3’s vacant l<strong>and</strong> will be brought in the MUSA by 2005<br />
with the balance being scheduled for 2010. The 2020 L<strong>and</strong> Use <strong>Plan</strong> anticipates<br />
residential l<strong>and</strong> uses will be the dominate form <strong>of</strong> new growth within District 3. The<br />
residential l<strong>and</strong> use will include a variety <strong>of</strong> housing options <strong>and</strong> densities. Small areas<br />
<strong>of</strong> commercial l<strong>and</strong> uses are proposed at the intersection <strong>of</strong> Cedar Avenue <strong>and</strong> Dodd<br />
Boulevard <strong>and</strong> the intersection <strong>of</strong> Dodd Boulevard <strong>and</strong> Pilot Knob Road. Through the<br />
implementation <strong>of</strong> the 2020 L<strong>and</strong> Use <strong>Plan</strong>, the District 3 population is anticipated to<br />
reach 16,105 at which time the District should be almost fully developed.<br />
